Attorney Manager
About the role
A large, multi-market Texas personal injury firm is hiring an Attorney Manager with prior formal management experience to lead a team of 4–6 trial attorneys and support staff. This role is designed for someone who has already led a legal team and is ready to do it at scale, directing a group of trial attorneys through every stage of case development at one of the country's most established personal injury practices.
The client is one of the largest plaintiff-side personal injury law firms in Texas, with operations across multiple major metro markets and a firm-wide standard of preparing cases for trial. The organization has invested heavily in building formal management structures and litigation support so that its Attorney Managers can focus on driving results: client strategy, case development, and courtroom outcomes, rather than administrative firefighting.
